Assuming the correct tyres are fitted the most accurate way to find your tyre size is to look at the tyres that are currently on you vehicle. Please remember the front and rear may well be different sizes. Failing this you should consult your vehicles's hand book.
We Don't Use Tyre Detection Software That Uses A Car Make, Model Or Registration To Identify Tyre Sizes. This Is Because These System Are Very Inaccurate And When We Have Used Them In The Past Customers Frequently Order The Wrong Size Tyres.
